When I want the Castle, only White Castle will do. Everything else has something that I can get something kinda comparable elsewhere. The CRAVE is real.
But if I drove into a theoretical place that had every burger chain on the same block and I wasn't cravin' the Castle, my list would probably be: Culvers In-and-Out Jack in the Box Wendy's Five Guys
If a Five Guys burger didn't cost the same as feeding five guys it would probably be in 2nd or 3rd place.

1. Whataburger 2. Culver's 3. Freddy's 4. Wendy's 5. Burger King 6. McDonalds (would be lower if there weren't one in just the right spot for an after work snack) 7. Jack in the Box (would be higher if the only location near me weren't in a hard-to-get-to spot) 8. Five Guys (would be #1 if they weren't so friggin' pricey) 9. In-and-Out (would be higher if they had one on my side of town) 10. Carl's Jr. (would be higher if they hadn't closed all the locations in my area)

Oh, look. The "Laugh at East Coasters for not having In-N-Out" thread.
But, for those of us like me who will never have access to the proper #1... (the chances of me ever going to California are zero. I don't get to take vacations.)
1. Wayback Burger 2. Five Guys (despite being too expensive) 3. Wendy's 4. Roy Rogers 5. McDonald's 6. Burger King
And that's all we have in my area. Also throwing Roy Rogers in there since they still have a couple in my mother's hometown.
We used to have Hot-n-Now when I was younger, and they were the absolute best, though.

1. McDonald's - the standard for both price and quality, I know EXACTLY what I'm going to get as far as taste, and it hasn't changed since before I was born.
2. Frisch's Big Boy - who knew that tarter sauce on a burger would make it taste so good?
3. Hardee's - used to be bad, now really good higher quality meat, especially their sourdough melt.
4. Wendy's - used to be the best, now decent but their baconators are good.
5. Jack in the Box - really good varieties, although there aren't any around here now.
6. Sonic - childhood favorite I don't take advantage of enough.
7. In N Out Burger - good burger...long wait.
8. Culver's - it's grown on me, but sometimes it can be a little too charred for my liking
9. Freddy's - while I prefer their chicken any time I go there, but their burgers are good.
10. Checker's - ditto as Freddy's.
11. Burger King - if I was interested, I'd measure the diameter of these burgers every few years, because they get smaller and taste mediocre...when I was a teenager, it was my favorite. What a fall from grace.
12. A&W - haven't eaten there in forever, but I remember it being middle of the road as far as quality.
13. Steak N Shake - not good, but super cheap...and it tastes good with a vanilla shake.
14. White Castle - nothing fantastic, but it's a guilty pleasure for the price.
15. Five Guys - if I wanted to spend $15 on food for myself, I'd go to a sit down restaurant. Oh and their fries are gross.
16. Whataburger - burnt and dry...and too much mustard.

They use Oreo Creme pieces for one of their shakes, all is forgiven.

And there's probably a dozen places that also use Oreo pieces for their ice cream that don't require you to take a second mortgage out on your house to pay for it.

I haven't had a Slider in ages as the White Castle near us closed years ago. I miss it a little bit! Agree on Five Guys, although it's more their fries than the burgers that have me wanting to go there all the time.

Ah, but do they ONLY use the cream parts? Others seem more like the Oreo chocolate crumbs they use for cheesecake crust and the like. (Except Sonic, which is also super)

1) Culver's is sinfully good.
2) Wendy's are solid at worst, helps that I have a good location.
3) Steak 'n Shake will sometimes slightly overcook the patty, but somehow it's still usually quality stuff.
4) Sonic does have alright burgers, but I'm putting them here for the great range in their menu overall.
5) Hardee's has gotten better, I'll second that. But their chicken tenders are to die for, and their apple pies destroy the ones at MC'D's.
6) McDonald's: Really, it's their Coca Cola. Plus I love their blueberry muffins (and no, it's not scrum-related- mostly.)
7) Jack In The Box is perfectly average. It's not gross but there isn't anything in their lineup to "make your evening", to put it like that.
8) White Castle is fine in a pinch if your budget's tight and you want something filling.
9) Just everything from Burger King for whatever reason makes me gag.

No. 380756433 - Supermac’s. This, Eddie Rocket’s and Abkakebabra had a stranglehold on the late-night fast food market in Ireland for the longest time and it’s baffling they’ve somehow managed to last into 2023 given the range of Irish alternatives on the market in this day and age. A host of glorified chippers.

Having had In N Out, I'm convinced that Cailifornians have been playing a giant prank on us East Coasters convincing us that such a mid place is like God of Fast Food Burgers. It's basically Burger Chick-Fil-A.

In n out then everything else for me. Love Shake Shack’s shroom burger though and a lot of seasonal McDonald’s burgers in Japan.
